Tips & News
In an increasingly digital world, access to fast and affordable fiber internet has become an essential component of economic and social development. The expansion of fiber internet services has the potential to unleash a wave of economic growth and societal transformation, with far-reaching impacts on businesses, education, healthcare, and overall quality of life
Every modern business requires internet services. However, the limitation, especially for businesses in Nigeria, is the restricted connectivity. This limitation eventually leads to prolonged downtime, reduced productivity, and stifled innovation. Recognizing these challenges, the Lagos State House of Assembly approved the unification of fiber infrastructure for telecom companies on Thursday, May 14, 2020. This move has positioned Lagos state towards rapid growth as a smart city.
We can attest that businesses in Lagos, no matter how small, have the advantage of accessing new markets both domestically and internationally, tapping into previously inaccessible consumer bases. This has opened up avenues for increased sales and revenue, driving rapid growth. They also have seamless access to online resources and have been able to leverage cloud-based services. Businesses in Lagos face little to no limitations in taking advantage of a wide range of tools and platforms for everything from data storage and analysis to customer relationship management and collaborative workspaces without disruption. This trend has led to an increase in startups, financial institutions, and tech companies in Lagos.
With the accessibility of fiber internet in Lagos, we can agree that there has been massive rural development in places like Ikorodu, Epe, Badagry, etc. To some extent, it has bridged the digital divide, enabling rural businesses to compete nationally and globally, attracting investment, and retaining talent. There has been a revitalization of these rural areas and reduced urban-rural economic disparities.
Fiber internet’s high-speed capability has significantly reshaped the educational landscape, extending beyond mere access to information. It has revolutionized the learning process, teaching methods, and interaction with educational materials.
The accessibility and dependability of high-speed internet have led to the flourishing of online learning platforms, virtual classrooms, and distance education programs. This has allowed students in Nigeria, particularly in Lagos, Abuja, Ilorin, Port Harcourt and other parts of Nigeria to seamlessly participate in interactive online courses, collaborate with peers from around the globe, and effortlessly access a vast array of educational resources without disruption.
Lastly, in the healthcare sector, fiber internet has provided the bandwidth and reliability needed to support electronic health records (EHRs) systems and health information exchange (HIE) platforms. These technologies enable secure sharing and access to patients’ medical records and health information among healthcare providers, improving care coordination, reducing medical errors, and enhancing patient safety. The use of this technology was well utilized during the COVID-19 pandemic. There was fast and seamless access to critical patient data, regardless of the healthcare facility’s location. We also experienced the manifestation of telemedicine, which allowed healthcare professionals to remotely diagnose and treat patients. Patients could consult with healthcare professionals remotely, reducing the need for in-person visits and bringing medical expertise directly to individuals in their homes.
